Okay, I'll go with you on the 3500 gallons. The aircraft were each estimated to be carrying about 30 tons of fuel, or about 10 000 gallons so I guess they made a rough estimate that 2/3 of the fuel was consumed during the initial impact. I don't really follow the rest of the reasoning about its distribution or being absorbed by the gypsum. I just don't think any of that really makes much sense. I also don't think you need fuel to create an explosion if you have intense heat in a room with thick smoke and smoldering fires that is suddenly exposed to oxygen when windows are broken or sections of walls fail. That would also account for creating a chain reaction of explosions as each one opened up new areas. However, I have no idea what the force of such explosions would be.

I'm glad Art stuck to his guns and never gave into the BS 9/11 conspiracy theory. Unlike George he has a mind of his own and doesn't believe everything he hears. George might not either but he certainly does pander to the paranoid conspiracy losers.

/agree It upsets me greatly to think that people out there cry conspiracy and blame our own government while we send out Jawbreaker teams just days after 9/11 to get those murdering turds.

First, I'm not sure that OBL had anything to do with 911. He didn't plan it. KSM did. It's doubtful even that the attacks were financed by OBL. His name just happened to be the first one floated and the press, being probably the most ill-informed group in the country, ran with it and it stuck. If you rely on information solely from the press, especially the American press, well, you might just be a liberal.

Second, I sure wouldn't want to be judged by the actions of some of my family members, would you?
